About Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Jason Voigt wrote:
| Saw these guys a few nights ago on their farewell tour. Jeff Hanna did look really good on stage and sounded great. His son, who has played with lots of bands, was on-stage with them. They played all of their hits from Mr. Bojangles to Fishing in the Dark. They even played some of their late 70s songs back when they went as The Dirt Band. And they ended it with a cover of "The Weight"! As far as their chances of getting in the Rock Hall, probably not. But they have much greater chances of getting in the Country Music HOF. I actually think they will get inducted there someday but I hope it is when the founding members are still alive. |

About Linda Ronstadt, Rob Willhoit wrote:
| Linda Ronstadt transformed and fused country music with rock, recorded traditional country with heavenly harmonies, made country and other genres hip while influencing many popular artists who came after her. She was also a favorite of musicians who sought to perform with her all the while treating them right. And if that isn't enough she is a very nice, down to Earth person who was raised by some pretty darn nice and talented parents in a pioneering Southwest family. Linda's life reads like an enjoyable book but it hasn't always been easy for her health-wise. Even in adversity she has been inspiring. Above all there was that voice. That incredible voice! |

About Donna Fargo, Marsha Bess wrote:
| Donna most definitely should be in the Hall of Fame. When she started in music, she was one of a hand full of women that wrote their own songs. She had 4 straight number one hits (a total of 6 altogether) earned a Grammy and many various writing and singing awards. She hosted her own TV show taking ques from Kitty Wells and Dolly Parton. She's often ranked in the top 40 Most influential female artist. She's inspired generations of young girls to write and sing and take control of their dreams. She is one of the nicest people on this planet and inspires her fans even today. Though MS slowed her down for a bit, she's still singing and writing songs, books and inspirational greeting cards teaching her fans and others, that no matter what comes your way, never give up. She's earned her spot in the Country Music Hall of Fame. I'd love to see her inducted as would so many of her longtime, life long fans. |

| KT was one of the most inspirational female artist of our time. She started in her 40s and showed women that it's never too late to fulfill a dream. With 4 number one songs and 15 various awards she deserves a spot in the Hall. |
